A Brahman Wins By Tactics! Poem by Dr.V.K. Kanniappan
A Brahman Wins By Tactics!
A person who owns oxen and bulls is a farmer,
A Brahman who is unable to win by valor
To get things done as he likes to his favor
Wins by tactics similar to cock coaxes and manages
To win the hen by approaching and embracing with one thigh,
A girl with beauty and knowledge is most fit for family life,
A person who has an efficient battalion of soldiers
Is an ideal commander for an army,
These are the messages said
by learned and experienced men.
எருதுடையான் வேளாளன்; ஏலாதான் பார்ப்பான்,
ஒருதொடையான் வெல்வது கோழி; உருவோ
டறிவுடையாள் இல்வாழ்க்கைப் பெண்என்ப; சேனைச்
செறிவுஉடையான் சேனா பதி.53 நான்மணிக்கடிகை
V.K.Kanniappan
Enjoyed this a lot, perhaps the English translation reads a bit uneasy, needs some work,
This poem has not been translated into any other language yet.
I would like to translate this poem

As we have so many words to describe a noun or a verb in Tamil, it is quite interesting to read the version of the Tamil poem. Well written..Enjoyed reading it!
